Well, since no one's mentioned it..... "Stoned" (Nanker, Phelge) is a straight rip of Booker T. & The MG's "Green Onions" (Cropper, Jones, Steinberg, Jackson). I always thought it was super groovy that these guys did a cover of an early Stax hit. A few months later they did "Walking The Dog", of course, another Stax hit. I also thought it was cool t

QuoteBliss So...you think Prince Rupert, with his three piece bespoke Savile Row suits, his gold pince-nez, his Oxford education, background in elite merchant banking, and his aristocratic clientele is a natural choice and logical member of the Rolling Stones inner circle, circa 1969? Yes, obviously. Yes. A perfect choice. And thanks go to Mick on that one. Without the Prince straightening

My pleasure, schillid. I remember reading Andy's comments on Jagger's handwriting....I'd forgotten they were sourced from his diary. Thanks schillid for posting the 10 Jagger portraits. The ninth one shown is still my favorite. But it still breaks my heart when I see it. I had an original in my hand in the summer of 1978. It was a gallery in the Village, I still have the co

Very cool, Mick is back on the charts and he turns 68 years old tomorrow. Now there's something I wouldn't have thought would happen back in 1969 when I bought Through The Past, Darkly....that is, Mick Jagger having a brand new hit single in 2011. What a great ride it's been. I continue to root for the home team and they continue to deliver. Even as they approach 70 years old. Fr
